We now have 4 groups of students working at different levels in Words Their Way. This is a great opportuinity for each student to progress at his or her own level. This requires the student to be self reliant with study. On Monday, each group has a mini-lesson on the sort skill for the week. Each student has an opportunity to work with another on his level each day Monday through Thursday. Those students who study and ask questions when things don't make sense, or when the pattern isn't evident do well. Those students who simply go through the motions do not do well. And, of course, those students who do not do their spelling homework, do not do well either. Gremlins, please take care with your work. Each day builds on the previous one and it is very hard when you do not work as you should each day.
